Synopsis

Woo Tae-kyung is an 18-year-old Korean average boy who has no friends. One day, his teacher approaches him in order to help him. He suggests Tae-kyung join the school's student council. The task is not easy, since one of the members is Noh Shin-woo, who resents him for a previous encounter. The president of the council, though, is very receptive, and tries to make Tae-kyung and Shin-woo get along. The council is also formed by Namgoong Shi-won, an extroverted humorous guy who also makes an effort so Tae-kyung properly joins them. Tae-kyung, with his new set of friends, proceeds to enjoy his new social life, and starts questioning if he may or may not like one of his fellow council members.
